MICA Postcard Project

*Organized by the MICA Office of Undergraduate Admission, the Postcard Project is an invitational exhibition for the incoming fall class at Maryland Institute College of Art. Over the summer, students are given three prompts to choose from, to inspire as  a postcard image. The resulting array of postcards are displayed at the Falvey Hall exhibition space in MICA's Brown Center for a two-week run, after which the postcards are re-installed in the Model Tour Apartment in MICA's Founders' Green residence complex.
